we may be getting a clear picture what happened the night george zimmerman shot trayvon martin. new details were released this week, 183 pages of evidence. the details leave us with lots of new questions. >> reporter: the first bit of ambiguous evidence, these pictures, george zimmerman who says he killed trayvon martin in self-defense, told investigators trayvon attacked him and slammed his head in the concrete. if that's true, are these wounds consistent with a head hitting pavement? documents show zimmerman had abrasions to his forehead, bleeding and tenderness in his nose and small laceration to the back of his head. if it was so bad, why didn't zimmerman go to the hospital? he declined to be transported to the hospital even after he told
3:10 am
officers his head hurt and that he felt light-headed. and there's this. if there was a prolonged struggle, would zimmerman's dna be on trayvon martin's hands? an analysis of scrapings from under the teenager's finger nails did not contain any of zimmerman's dna. but the autopsy done on martin does show a cut, a one quarter by one eighth inch small abrasion on the left fourth finger, an indication he might have been punching zimmerman. the first neighbor to encounter zimmerman after the shooting found him winded. >> he was having a hard time cause he -- looked like he had gotten his butt whooped, so he was a little bit more of a, you know, not shock but like just getting up type of thing. >> there is also this, unanswered question. as the two men fought, who was it neighbors heard yelling for help? in a 911 call, a sergeant counted a man yelling "help or
3:11 am
help me" 14 times in 38 seconds. >> listen to the 911 call you can hear someone yelling in the background. >> help! >> you think he's yelling help? the discovery documents show competing versions of the events. of those who say they heard the struggle, some told police they thought they heard a young boy screaming for help. one witness, witness 6 as he's called in the documents, thought it was the voice of a grown man. >> there was a black male with a black hoodie on top of either a white guy or now i found out that i found out that he was a hispanic guy with a red sweatshirt on the ground. >> the fbi audio analysis was inconclusive, they couldn't determine whose voice it was during the extreme emotional state of the person yelling but overlapping voices. the fbi said there was an insufficient voice quality on the recording. and what about that racial slur
3:12 am
zimmerman a white hispanic, allegedly used when describing trayvon? >> the back entrance. >> fbi analysis released thursday said they could not definitively identify the word zimmerman used due to weak signal level and poor recording quality. that word is key to rate shall discrimination argument and legal experts say without definitive evidence he used a slur the chances zimmerman might be charged with a federal hate crime diminish. an interview also part of the discovery with one of the zimmerman's former coworkers says something else. the man said zimmerman is a racist and bully. >> i was portrayed like the i don't know if you ever watched comedy, this guy is called ahmed the terrorist? >> no. >> okay, so a little guy, has a weird voice and -- that was me in the story so the story turned my accent to no!
3:13 am
i kill you! >> okay. >> he kept going and going. >> and finally the question of drugs in trayvon martin's system. in his 911 call, just before the shooting, zimmerman indicated the teenager looked like he was on drugs on something. even though we now know trayvon's blooded had thc in it, that may not mean he was high. one tox i could gist said it can linger for diays. dr. drew says marijuana doesn't make someone more aggressive. with the new details released this week you think we would be closer to learning the truth. the one thing we know for sure a single gun shot fired straight into the chest of trayvon martin killed him. >> and george zimmerman is charged with second degree murder, he pled not guilty

welcome back. going outside the u.s. to build a family, some would-be parentsare willing to put up with the hassle and high cost for a child to call their own. in 2010, 53,000 children were adopted. for international adoptions that was 10,000 last year. it has fallen since 2004. the difference in cost can be substantial. these are the high end numbers, more than $40,000 for domestic adoptions. more than $64,000 for international adoptions. but for some going outside america's borders makes more sense. theona hall adopted two children, one from china and another country. why did you go outside the u.s.
3:23 am
to adopt? >> that was simple, i had a friend who adopted three children from china, i know they had a proven process. after i got a divorce i knew i wanted a family she steered me in that direction. it was nothing more than that. before you adopted graham you got far in the adoption process from what i understand for another little boy in nepal, only to have him yanked away from you but you saw he was going to be yours, correct? >> that is absolutely correct. i blame the agency for that, actually. they gave me a picture of a little boy and said this is your son and matched me to him and quite candidly the day after the check cleared they said he might not be yours because they changed the government, so we're going to hang tight. i said how do we advocate for this child? i was devastated i found out they had given the child my picture and told him he had a mommy and he was going to school, one of the parents said he was going to school and then
3:24 am
game on, i had to take it on myself. i went to nepal to fight for that child. >> you had spent money, you didn't only invest emotionally but financially as well. >> we had no concept of the living conditions, it was awful. medical care, a child who ended up passing away i got him a nurse to take care of him before he did. furnished the whole orphanabge, it was a donation of goods, but stocked kitchens with food. something you just don't believe until you see it. >> did you ever find out what happened to him? >> i fought for him. i fought for him all the way through the process. as a matter of fact, he has a family in italy and the mother and i are in touch. >> that is great news. >> i have a picture of him getting off the plane in milan, italy, where his ears are touching behind his head he's
3:25 am
smiling so hard. >> that is a wonderful end. between nepal and china which gave you a harder time in terms of trying to adopt? china was smooth sailing, the agency is in business 20 years, except for the wait time, about the government, not the agency. nepal, my friends will tell you china was an adoption, nepal was a rescue, it was you didn't know what would happen until the last minute. it's a six year story i don't think i could tell it to you in this segment. incredible pain, incredible pain we went through. >> you mentioned six years, how long did each adoption take for you and how much did each cost you? >> the one, china ended up between five and six years, nepal, 5 1/2 years before it was done. as far as cost they are regulated i made sure we stuck to the law as far as what was on the adoption itself. this is outside expenses,
3:26 am
lawyers had to manage agencies, in nepal to manage the government, to answer your question, dchina was simple, $23,000, nepal, i stopped counting at 80. you see problems with international adoptions, one of the stories has to do with this case out of guatemala, a woman says her child was abducted in 2006 and sold to an international adoption agency and this unknowing family in missouri adopted this child, this little girl and now there is an international fight to get her back in guatemala. do you -- guatemala is one of those countries that has cut off some international adoptions to the u.s. do you see that kind of thing happening, is that something that families in the u.s. should worry about? >> the way i look at it the process is so flawed, so broken it's hard to validate that information, that is the real
3:27 am
challenge. marry that with the fact this is the land of opportunity these children and international adoptions can get a u.s. citizenship have won the adoption lottery. you don't know who to trust. desperate people in these countries will do desperate things. >> in terms of an agency, what kind of i guess advice do you have for anybody, how do you know what sort of agency to use? >> i tell you what, that is the biggest challenge i had. many, many agencies were flawed. so my advice to them is do your due diligence and recognize at the end of the day they do the paperwork you have to fight for yourself. there is two reasons why graham finally came home to me. my friend kim and fred had an international group of waiting families, that we connect and got put together a plan, we all went after our own embassies and say you have to do something in nepal. the only embassy that didn't

3:41 am
historians a unique look in the life of prisoners in the civil war. reynolds wolf joins me to talk about it. you got to visit the camp? >> got my hands dirty. >> most incredible thing, it was undisturbed? >> it was, that within itself is a rarity. when you think about civil war camps or sites like gettysburg, millions of people have picked over them, taken a look at this, turned over a lot of soil, this truly is a rarity and what they were able to find at this specific site in south georgia truly was amazing. >> reporter: deep in the georgia woods, archeologists are revealing a proes pristine and complete civil war prison ever discovered. each shovel full of dirt brings them closer to telling a story 150 years in the making. >> it is a unique site, there really aren't any more of those. >> this is camp lawton, a confederate civil war prison.
3:42 am
>> if we were here 150 years ago you would be standing in a recently cleared field surrounded by a wall of 12, 15 foot high. there was pigeon roosts guard towers all around that exterior of the stockade, within the stockade itself, there was what was called a deadline, to cross it was death. >> reporter: lawton was for the brief time the largest prison camp in the civil war. slaves built it in 1864 to ease overcrowding of the andersonville prison. as general sherman began his march to the sea. >> a lot of them didn't know they were leaving when they left they would not have taken the time to gather their equipment. >> reporter: this discovery happened by accident. >> kevin said he was looking for a thesis project. i said it will be easy we won't find anything you'll get it done in a hurry and move on and get your master's. >> reporter: kevin chapman took

on the project and using water colors painted by a former prisoner stumbled on the site. >> on the very first day of the survey, we within about 20, 30 minutes, found a u.s. large cent. to find one of those meant the site was fairly pristine. >> what is this here? this is a stain in the soil. as you can see, it is square shaped, and that is exciting to us because nature doesn't do square. this stain right here could be possibly where a timber was cut and squared off, and sunk in the ground and deteriorate and left a trace for to us find today. >> reporter: each shovel full unearths a new discovery, buttons a key, picture frame a pipe from scotland, coin fr argentina, treasures that belonged to prisoners so far from home. what have you learned about the people, anything that surprised you?
3:44 am
>> absolutely. the amount of ingenuity we're seeing in the artifacts, their will to survive. the leaves of society they develop within their environment. this site is the little people, the men who fought on the front lines the men whose name didn't get recorded by history. that is what we're doing is telling their story. >> that was an incredible story. so i'm just curious how rare is it to find a civil war site that hasn't been looted? >> almost impossible. when it comes to american history, americans love history, one of the things that is popular is civil war history. when there is a site, a lot of people get metal detectors, scour the site and want to find artifacts. many places are combed through. >> is it a target? >> i think it might be they are watching it carefully. they are trying to keep as many artifacts as they can, they should have a great place for people to visit in 20, 30 years.
3:45 am
>> what was the most interesting thing. >> the most compel thing artifacts belonged to a young man, in the prime of his life, the nightmare of a situation he was going through, the connection, here we are 150 years later but you have the one item that connects you in the past. >> amazing. thank you, reynolds. students and parents in one georgia neighborhood on edge after a man takes aim at a school bus. what police are doing to find him.
